Tatume Squash seeds

Tatume, a cherished summer squash variety with deep roots in both Mexican and Texan culinary traditions, is a delightful addition to your garden. These round to oval-shaped fruits display a captivating transition from medium-dark green to a radiant yellow hue, often adorned with faint stripes, creating a visual feast for the eyes.
 
Tatume squash, at its culinary prime, achieves a diameter of 5 to 7 inches. The texture is delightfully firm, and the flavor profile is nothing short of exquisite, offering a fine, delectable taste that elevates a wide range of dishes.
 
What truly sets Tatume apart is its resistance to the squash vine borer and the vitality of its spreading vines. These plants have a remarkable capacity to sprawl, reaching out far and wide in their quest for sunlight and space. Therefore, it's essential to grant Tatume plenty of room to thrive. With the freedom to stretch their tendrils, you'll be rewarded with a bountiful harvest that won't disappoint.
 
Tatume squash thrives in warm climates and may not be suitable for regions with chilly nighttime temperatures. It exhibits excellent resilience against the squash vine borer, making it a rare heirloom gem. Tatume squash is increasingly challenging to come by in recent times.
